bare midriff

Since its first edition in 1946, the Met Gala has been the most awaited, sensational and exclusive fashion phenomenon of the year gathering on one red carper more dazzle and glam than any other fashion extravaganza out there.

Each year, guests are challenged to choose their evening attire to match the theme of the Costume Institute’s annual exhibition, which throughout the years proved to be quite a task. This time, the theme and inspiration for the dress of the night was “China: Through the Looking Glass“. How did celebrities approach the subject and what trends conquered the Met Gala’s Red Carpet? Let’s see!

After hitting the 70’s with trendy low-rise jeans and taboo-breaking exposed belly buttons in the 80’s, the controversial bare midriff celebrates its big comeback in the SS15 collections — both ready-to-wear and couture. From Dior, Oscar de la Renta and Fendi to Balmain, Mugler and Diane von Furstenberg – fashion designers have once again succumbed to the bare belly temptation.

This month, 13th turned out to be Friday and, although it could have been unlucky for some, Cinderella certainly can’t complain hitting $23 million on its premiere day, becoming Disney’s biggest 2D PG-rated opening of all time.
